You know what I love about babies? Their fuzzy hair after a bath and their precious feet. Their eyes that begin to focus and look around and their wonderful noises! There is so much more! But I was just reminded of these, looking at your AnnaBeth.

Amanda, I just want you to know that I am so happy for you guys. She is absolutely PRECIOUS!!! So BEAUTIFUL!! I know you all are totally beside yourselves! Love you Sweet Girl and miss you terribly! Kim

I had a friend who made the most incredible boutique-worthy bows, pony-o's, and headbands when my daughter was a baby. Oh, and don't think I didn't spend half my husband's paycheck accessorizing her with them! (Okay, maybe not THAT much, but it was a bit of a fixation of mine...) Now, at almost 7, my daughter will barely stand still long enough for me to put a brush through her hair. But I will win her over to hair accessories once again -- I MUST!!! :D

I have to tell you that I am known for not being a fan of the headband on babies. However, from what I have seen in the pictures, the headbands you have for Annabeth are just gorgeous! Where do you get those? She's very precious--enjoy each moment!

AMANDA LITTLE SIESTA ANNABETHIS BEAUTIFUL I SEE YOUR MOM IN HER YOU HAVE ONE BEATIFUL FAMILY THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE YOU ALL VERY MUCH MAY NEVER SEE YOU ALL THIS SIDE OF HEAVEN BUT WE WILL ALL HAVE ONE REUNION WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVENALL OUR TO THE MOORES AND THE JONES GODBLESS YOU ALL CAROL ALBUQ.NM

She is such a cutie and you are so good at taking pictures of her!! Poor Storey has been neglected in the photo department and I keep telling myself it is because she's number 2 kid. But comparing it to you....looks like I'm actually just too lazy to get out my camera :)

Bless her little heart! At least she was still acting somewhat lady-like when she was boo-hooing in the stroller...her little pinky's up. (I secretly love all the crying pictures...I hate when they cry...it tears me all up...but there is something so cute about it, too...isn't that terrible of me??? I promise I'm not terrible!)

And I have to tell you about a wonderful headband that I found when my little one was Annabeth's age. I got it at Strausburg Children's Store (and it was the only thing that I could afford in there!). But it is a little white lace headband with a little ribbon where you can slide in any size bow... So you can personalize the headband to match whatever she is wearing! It was the best $5 that I ever spent and we used it everyday for the first year of her life (until she got enough hair to clip the bow in!)

glad to know i'm not the only one who has chickened out of going out in public with a baby. we all have cabin fever here b/c i've been so hesitant to try it. annabeth is so pretty, even when she's mad! such sweet little features, i can't wait to see her in person!

Ok Amanda, I am looking on her pictures and trying to see if she has the baby acne. I can't tell. But if she does, here's what you do: buy Aveeno baby lotion and just slather it all over her. Every time you change her diaper, give her a little facial. It will clear up so fast you won't believe.

Besides a baby, what pregnant women get in return for surrendering their waistlines is nine months of thick, glorious hair. It’s a beautiful thing. However, when Baby is just a few months old (about the time Mommy is seeing hints of her returning waistline) it all falls out. Soon her face is framed by the re-growth—lovely inch-long hairs called baby bangs. This blog is named for that charming little phenomenon.
